Read my new book, The 10 Best Things You Can Do For Your Bird at Amazon or at many other fine distributors like Barnes & Noble, iTunes, Kobo, and more.


By public demand, and after a delay of an embarrassing number of years, I've finally put my notorious essay, Ender and Hitler: Sympathy for the Superman, free on the fabulous internets.

A bibliography of my published books and stories.

Here's a simple card-counting FAQ to get you up to speed on the basics. Here's the true story of the notorious DD' blackjack team, told for the first time on the fabulous internets. No other team went from a starting investor's bankroll of zero to winning millions of dollars.


A Sadean take on Asimov's classic Three Laws of Robotics can be found in Roger Williams' NOW REVIEWED ON SLASHDOT!!! The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. Adult readers only please -- explicit sex and violence. For updates on the "Dead Tree Project" and other topics, you may visit the official fan site, Passages in the Void..


My Bird Lists -- My Louisiana State Life List, My Yard List and, tah dah, My World Life List.


HEY! What happened to the Peachfront Conure Files? The world's only OFFICIAL Peachfront Conure site now features free peachfront conure coverage, including a magazine length Intro to Conures previously published in American Cage-Bird Magazine, now free on the web. I offer the best free Peachfront Conure information on the internet. If you have great Peachfront Conure info, stories, or photos to share, contact me so I can publicize your pet, your breeding success, your great photograph, etc. on my site. Thanks.







the miserable phone saga never ends

2013-04-30 - 4:54 a.m.

If you blindly believe TV and the internet, everybody has a smartphone doing smart things, and maybe they do in Tokyo, but down here on the ground nobody I know has one...and I'm starting to figure out why.

Seldom have I ever regretted a purchase so much. But apparently I'm stuck with it, since it was free. Not worth free...the latest twist is that if I make a call, it beeps every time I say something.

Not the best way to try to make a doctor's appointment.

Oh, and apparently just to be mean, it transferred all of my pictures from the old phone EXCEPT the orange-breasted falcon. Why why why?

If you are wondering how this hateful little phone knew that picture was special and I would be particularly disappointed if it was withheld...that part is too easy. I had it as the exterior wallpaper on my old phone.

later

Got caught up with the month's writing quota, and now I'm trying to catch up with a few other things. Just read one of the diaries I follow. Awful news. Makes me feel bad about my own bitching and moaning. Sounds like the writer is a victim of a false accusation.

Thought about writing him but I wouldn't know what to say. I'm sure my very existence would be viewed as evidence that a stalker/false accuser will destroy a life forever. At least if the person is determined to continue in their current career, which I fear is unrealistic.

On a more cheerful note, I think I have already heard baby mockingbirds. And I've seen Indigo Buntings that appear to be paired. Will they stay here? I thought they always went a little further north. What a thrill it would be to host them all summer.
